My list of food gifts is longer than I thought:
Luxurious (read: fatty thanks to ungodly amounts of butter and cream, so much they need an emulsifier) caramels
the sliced almond/milk chocolate things (though I might not share as I love them
)
mandorlini (soft almond paste cookies)
spiced roll-out cookies that were a childhood favourite of the giftee
cashew brittle
I'll do the caramels and possibly the brittle today, then maybe the chocolates tomorrow so I can send samples to my sibling stuck at university.

So the brittle recipe was fabulous (just be quick flattening it, it is not thin enough to spread out by itself). The caramel recipe gave me grief - which again I credit to sloppy writing - but worked out somewhat. I will probably look for another recipe for the future, though.
Now the cookies and possibly another batch of stollen.

I missed all this. I desperately need a panIf anyone needs a Bundt pan, Casaware (recommended by @DoggieBags ) is excellent
I do butter and flour the pan, but the cake just fell out, no sticking and it’s easy to clean.
blueberry cream cheese pound cake with double berries and a scant spoon of baking powder (no lemon extract)

I am not sure where this recipe came from, but it is my absolute favorite! It even beats chocolate! Beware - the smell will torture you as you're waitwww.food.com

Anyone have a British scone recipe they can share? I am looking to expand my baking across the pond 😊.
Disclaimer: I have not made these. I have never eaten scones. I have however made lots of her recipes and all of them turned out great. She owns a bakery in London.
Tried to edit because I didn't start the video before singing its praises. Jemma owns the bakery, Sally who does the video used to be her bakery manager and now seems to have stepped down to focus on baking classes. She's still doing videos once in a while but the majority of the current videos is Jemma and Dane (who used to be super fan before he started working for them). I clearly know too much about these people, thanks to the Covid years
P.S. jam on cream is Devon cream tea, cream on jam is Cornish cream tea.

Anyone already in Easter mode? I am not really, but thinking about how to colour the eggs this year. Possibly pastel colours with gold foil accents.
I am in every holiday mode. 😊 those eggs are soo tricky. I love the beautiful pictures but when I paint them, they look like a 2 yr old did it.
Omg I just made these or a variation of it with prosciutto. Amazing recipe.

That looks so pretty. I really want one of those pastry stands, but then I don't know I would use it regularly.
